Eight open and public letters addressed to Joan Tronto share thoughts on the current state of care from the experiences of different writers during this global pandemic. Edited with Gilly Karjesvky and Sascia Bailer for the New Alphabet School, HKW Berlin.
I'm currently working on the Making Futures book. It will be published by Spector Books by the end of 2020.
Following the conclusion of the festival I curated together with Gilly Karjevsky, this online repository archives the activities that inhabited the water basin through images, videos and text documentation: from hot-compost-making, experimenting with bio-materials, the baking of urban hives, weather writing or “tuning-in” methods, reading aloud and looking at care on a planetary dimension.
